  1. My post above was meant for the 52 Midwood house…sorry….the sad looking place is the one listed above.
    Brooklyn is a strange place right now, I can’t process paying that amount of money for such a downtrodden looking place posted above.

  2. That is a very beautiful house. I also thought of the contrast to the South slope house (what a sad looking place), which may be nicely finished inside but really makes you wonder about some of the differentials out there.

  3. No way. It was totally done. I guess whoever bought it is obviously looking toward the future, when construction is finished. Compare it that A&H house on 12th St. that went for about 100G less and it actually starts to look like a good deal!

  4. Question for anyone who knows or who saw it — Usually South Slope frame houses run about 35 feet deep, max. Was there an extension? One story or more? Without an extension, it’s probably no more than 1800 sq. ft. which would put it at $750/s.f. Corcoran took the listing down; does anyone have any better pictures? Even with the reno, it’s an impressive price. PShark says sq. footage = 1088; that seems wrong for a 3-story. Is the shark right or are all three floors in use?

  5. I am a bit surprised by the prices as well. But I have noticed over the past couple of weeks the emergency brakes have started to kick in here and there.
    This is a great house for $799,000, but for 1.3 million it is a little over the top? Just my opinion.
